Spurs vs Liverpool 16.00 GMT Kick Off **MATCH THREAD**

[Frogfish]

Johnson cross and Torres just wide .... brought an ooooooh

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Tyler: there wasn't a premier league then, just a top division

fuck off

 

[Squiggles]

God, baptism of fire for Ayala...

Johnson's going to get plenty of assists this season. He's a lovely crosser.

 

[Frogfish]

Gerrard didn't even look up there ... a tad selfish

 

[livvy145]

Skrtel off for Ayala

 

[SaintGeorge67]

why not kelly?

He's a bit English.

It's probably because of Ayala's giraffe like neck. He can match up well with Crouch

 

[localny]

Maybe it's just this game, but I think it's what we all feared - we're lacking a cutting edge...for now..

 

[SaintGeorge67]

COME ON ANDREY

 

[singlerider]

It's okay, the Crow is warming up

 

[Rosco]

Kuyt off

 

[Frogfish]

Actually a good sub ... kuyt has been way off the pace today

 

[localny]

We're playing poorly, no sign of scoring, time to bring on the reserves to make a difference...

Voronin... (sigh...)

 

[Roger REDerer]

Insua = Argentinian version of Warnock.

 

[localny]

I'm missing the confidence, the swagger, the ability of the team to score a hat-ful of goals, that we had last season.

 

[Farkmaster]

Mascherano hasn't done much wrong defensively, and Lucas has put in a decent display.

It's still nowhere near as influential though, is it?

I don't think that's too wide of the mark but give him time.

 

[Rosco]

Unlucky, great ball from Gerrard almost reaches Torres

 

[Foxwold]

Benny has been very lively since he come on.

 

[madmax]

Gerrard pulling the string from midfield. It is such a huge difference.

 

[cochyn]

Yossi has done more in the last 5 mins on the pitch than babel has done in previous ten starts!!

it is the first match of the season ... neither Chelsea nor United showed that either.

 

[cochyn]

REF you are a wanker!!!

That should have been another peno!!

 

[Rosco]

Voronin pushed over in the box, should have been a peno.

Great ball through by Yossi

 

[cobrastatus]

FUCKING PENALTY!!!!!

 

[doctor_mac]

Stonewaller

 

[Farkmaster]

That was a nailed on penalty.

 

[localny]

yup penalty...

 

[Squiggles]

What the fuck, Ref?
